Private, end-to-end encrypted groups for families and friends

Private, end-to-end encrypted groups for families and friends targets a $6.0B = 100M households × $60 ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY (encrypted messaging and privacy-focused app adoption; industry estimates 2022-2024).
